title

Recommendation for the appointment of David Burow to the Measure K Oversight Committee, representing District 3, for a term ending June 30, 2019.

 

body

BACKGROUND:

The Measure K Oversight Committee was established following the voters’ approval of the Measure A sales tax in 2012 to conduct an annual audit of the Measure A sales tax funds to ensure transparency of the Board of Supervisors approved expenditures. The name of the oversight committee has thus been changed to reflect the passage of Measure K in 2016, which extended the sales tax until 2043.

 

DISCUSSION:

David Burow is a resident of District 3 in Woodside, and will fill the seat that was vacated by former District 3 representative Mindy Pengel.

 

David Burow has an engineering degree from Purdue University and an MBA in Finance and Accounting from the University of Chicago. He has had a distinguished career as a senior manager in the semiconductor and technical software industry. As a Woodside Town Council member for eight years, including two years as Mayor, Mr. Burow also has an excellent insight into San Mateo County politics and needs.

 

This appointment contributes to the 2025 Shared Vision statement of a Collaborative Community. Our diverse population works well together to build strong communities, effective government and a prosperous economy, civic engagement - including voting, public service, charitable giving, volunteerism, and participation in public discussions of important issues - is uniformly high among the diverse population of San Mateo County.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:
